Week Two Begins

Friday night was a fantastic group dinner with a welcoming celebration for our new team members joining Team Peru for week two of the campaign, and a farewell party for our team members headed back to the their homes in the U.S. Daniel did a great job in lining up a really nice restaurant for the team to enjoy a traditional Peruvian dinner with traditional Andean dances. It was, a great way to transition our experience.

Week two had us head from Lima on Saturday afternoon to Arequipa. We all got to our new hotel after a fantastic dinner with Father Alex around 7 p.m. Needless-to-say, the team was smashed and needed the "free evening" to get a well deserved rest.

On Sunday the entire team headed up to Alto Cayma for Mass with Father Alex. The Mass was particularly important for Lee and I - as our daughter Alex was Baptized by Father ALex. It was an amazing experience as our entire Alto Cayma "family" came to the celebration. Having worked in Alto Cayma for over a decade, HBI has created some really important relationships in the community. It was so nice to introduce everyone to our daughter and have them share in our celebration of her Faith.

Tonight we have another team meeting and will set the stage for the week. Come Monday morning, we will hit the ground running with a plethora of activities and opportunities for the group to get involved with. As always, we will be posting updates and pictures on the website and Blogspot.

Thank you, as always, for all of your support.
